4Reduced Range of Motion
When stiffness, damages, and pain advance and spread to surrounding joints, you would eventually suffer from a reduced range of motion. This is a symptom of advanced cases and also a leading cause of disability. You might not bend down as usual to pick up an item on the ground. The process occurs gradually and slowly when the cartilage breaks down and makes bones rub against each other. If left untreated, it would seriously affect your physical activities and daily tasks.
